EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured stipple engraving captures the beauty and grace of a Native woman of Hawaii (Sandwich Islander) from the early 19th century. The intricate details of her traditional attire, including a flowing cloak and ornate necklace, showcase the rich cultural heritage of the Hawaiian people.
The artist has expertly captured the essence of this Polynesian woman, with her serene expression and dignified posture. Her features reflect a blend of Polynesian and European influences, highlighting the complex history of Hawaii as a melting pot of different cultures.
The print is a reproduction from Frederic Shoberl's The World in Miniature: The South Sea Islands, originally published in London in 1824. It was based on an illustration by Louis Choris from Otto von Kotzebue's Picturesque voyage around the world in 1822.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. This Native woman serves as a reminder of the resilience and beauty of indigenous peoples throughout history.
Let us appreciate and honor the legacy of these Sandwich Islanders, whose traditions continue to inspire awe and admiration centuries later.
